Omg, the nostalgia is almost creepy. I think I know exactly where you are on Euclid Ave. and I'm probably around the corner in the cul-de-sac on Cleburne smoking a joint. I love this photograph, it's a like a time machine.

I have no idea why I didn't comment on it the first time I looked at this thread...

so Bug what was the occasion for the face paint, and what was your cat called?

Can't remember the occassion for the face paint, but that's my first cat, Bubbles. I named him that because my mother used to play John Lennon's album Double Fantasy over and over again, and there's one part during the album where Lennon says "bubbles, bubbles". Or maybe he doesn't...but I thought he did at the time.

This is the cast photo from the Foreigner, a play I was in in high school. I'm the cranky looking guy in the back, cast in the role of Owen Musser, a redneck and Klansman. Tripped on my white robe running up the aisle during one of the performances and almost landed in the lap of the school's principal. Who of course, was black...

This is me back at Christmas 2005. I think I said a few weeks before my wife filed for divorce, but I guess it would have been more like three days. This would, i think, be Christmas Eve of that year, at my Mom's house. The troll sitting between my darling children there told me two days after Christmas (I think it would have been the day after but we still had family stuff going on the 26th) that she couldn't take another minute with me.

She had filed the divorce papers within 36 hours and was in a new place within four days. But, she said, she didn't plan it. Like she didn't leave me for another guy, such as the one she was living with by the following October and then married in January...

I'm impressed that you can remember the name of your best friend from when you were little.

Oh, and from the pictures I have seen of Hank, he looks a lot like you. Go strong genetics!

my mom was good friends with her mom and still talks about her a lot. I recently found her online, but I didn't know what to say so I never wrote...she's all succesful now and stuff, she won an award, that's how I found her so easily...

Is that weird to remember everyone you went to school with? I can name everyone I went to school with, most of them their last names too same with all the teachers i had. I can see if you moved around a lot not remembering them, but it's weird to me that if you went to the same schools you wouldn't remember everyone.
